The Amaretto Sour took the classic “sour” template and wrapped it around almond and stone-fruit character—sweet, tart, and a little dessert-like without turning into a full-on sugar bomb. It’s one of those drinks that looks simple on paper but can be fussy to balance in practice.
VINKA starts with real ingredients and uses a proprietary extraction method to capture the aroma and flavor in a concentrated mixer. Pair it with a simple, easy-to-make base of neutral spirit, water, and sugar, add ice, shake, and you’re pouring an Amaretto Sour-style cocktail in minutes—no amaretto bottle, no citrus squeezing, no egg whites, no extra prep.
In the glass, it shows classic Amaretto Sour character: sweet almond and marzipan notes on the nose, a bright citrus lift, and soft stone-fruit tones underneath. On the palate, it opens with rounded sweetness, pulls into a clean, citrus-driven tang, and finishes smooth and dessert-like without feeling heavy. Each sachet mix yields about 10.1 fl oz before ice; after shaking with ice, the finished pour is typically around 12–13 fl oz, depending on how much ice melts.
- Fast & Consistent: Measure, mix, shake, pour—no amaretto or lemon juggling required.
- Yield: ~10.1 fl oz pre-ice; typically ~12–13 fl oz after shaking (ice melt varies).
- Serve-ready: Just garnish with citrus and a cherry if you want the full sour ritual.
Flavor
Almond and marzipan, soft stone fruit, bright citrus, balanced sweetness, and a smooth, dessert-like finish.
What You’ll Need
For Standard Preparation: 80-proof (40% ABV) vodka or neutral spirit, cold water, granulated sugar, ice, shaker.
For Slushy Preparation: 5x VINKA Amaretto Sour Cocktail Mixer sachets, a 2L-capacity slushy machine, 80-proof (40% ABV) vodka or neutral spirit, cold water, granulated sugar.
Directions (per 1 sachet) —
Use 80-proof (40% ABV) vodka or neutral spirit.
- In a shaker or bottle, add 5 fl oz vodka/neutral spirit + 3.5 fl oz cold water.
- Add 4 Tbsp granulated sugar. Shake or stir without ice to dissolve. (Sweetness: add a little more or a little less sugar to suit your taste.)
- Add the entire sachet and about 1 cup of ice (a generous handful). Shake 10–15 seconds, then pour and serve.
Note: Ice melt will dilute the drink a bit (that’s normal and intended).
Slushy Directions (2L batch)
Use 80-proof (40% ABV) vodka or neutral spirit.
- Add 14 fl oz vodka/neutral spirit to the slushy machine.
- Add all 5 VINKA Amaretto Sour Cocktail Mixer sachets.
- Add about 45 fl oz cold water.
- Add 1½ cups granulated sugar (24 Tbsp). Mix/recirculate to dissolve.
- Top with cold water to the 2L / MAX fill line, then run the machine until slushy and serve.
Note: Frozen-drink texture can vary by machine and settings. If it freezes too firm, let it run a bit longer to soften; if it’s too loose, keep chilling until it tightens up.
Serve Suggestion
Serve in a rocks glass over fresh ice; garnish with an orange slice or lemon wedge and a cherry.
